Analysis of Count Phoebus
Long and mighty sharp claws
Some people say he has gone mad
He does not hesitate to ensnare you in his jaws
Long and mighty sharp claws
He will catch anything in his paws
But he just wants play, and if not he’ll be sad
Long and mighty sharp claws
Some people say he has gone mad
